April 18, 2026: Intraday Market Analysis for BTC/ETH/BNB/SOL Have a great weekend, everyone! Bitcoin has finally surged strongly past its previous high of 76, nearly reaching the next major resistance near 793. Fortunately, it pulled back—otherwise, my long position at 793 might have been unlocked. Isn’t that frustrating? The current spot average price for BTC is still above 741, and I’m holding on, hoping for more. Last night’s analysis suggested shorting at current levels, and those trades are now profitable. If you’re still holding, consider moving your stop-loss up or manually closing part of the position. This bottom has been tested multiple times without breaking—be cautious of a minor rebound. Wait until near the top before initiating new shorts. The bullish news has already been priced in; a pullback after a spike is normal. Focus on going long on dips. If you’re in a profitable short, lock in profits first. Today is the weekend, so volatility is expected to be low. The current resistance and support levels are now clear—watch these levels closely. If neither is broken, expect continued sideways consolidation. BTC’s pullback to the 50% retracement level is around 758; ETH’s is at 2375. Consider entering longs if price dips near these levels. Today’s Market Analysis: $BTC: Watch 76,830. As long as price holds above this level, bullish momentum remains strong. The next target is the prior high at 78,330. If this level isn’t decisively broken, a minor pullback may occur. Only consider shorting if price strongly breaks above 79,300–81,500–83,000. If $BTC breaks below 76,830, a 1–2 hour correction begins. Look for long entries near 75,230–73,600–72,200. $ETH: Watch 2,396. As long as price holds above this level, bullish momentum remains strong. The next target is the prior high at 2,463. If this level isn’t decisively broken, a minor pullback may occur. Only consider shorting if price strongly breaks above 2,500–2,560–2,635. If $ETH breaks below 2,396, a 1–2 hour correction begins. Look for long entries near 2,350–2,303–2,255. $BNB: Watch 640. As long as price holds above this level, bullish momentum remains strong. Look for short entries near 653–666–676. If $BNB breaks below 640, a 1–2 hour correction begins. Look for long entries near 627–615–602. $SOL: Watch 89. Only if price holds above 89 will a 1–2 hour rebound likely begin. The next target is the prior high at 90.7. If this level isn’t decisively broken, a minor pullback may occur. Only consider shorting if price strongly breaks above 93–95–97. If $SOL fails to hold above 89, the 1–2 hour correction continues. Look for long entries near 87–84–81. [Daily updates with precise entry points for you—long or short positions are for reference only. Practice proper position sizing. For light positions: use 0.5% of your total capital. At key support/resistance levels, scale in with no more than 1% per level. Use 100x leverage but ensure total exposure doesn’t exceed 2% of your account to preserve room for averaging down. For heavier positions, set stop-losses at the prior high or low of the last 1- or 2-hour swing, or use fixed stops: ~$1,500 for BTC, ~$30 for ETH.
